So these days I've been painting my mixed media eyes on bigger surfaces instead of just practising in my art journal. This one is a 12x16 Derivan wood painting panel. It provides a much more rigid surface for painting (as opposed to a conventional canvas) and an interesting woodgrain texture.
I did the mixed media background first with acrylic paints, watersoluble crayons, gesso and stencils before painting in my eye.
This piece took a few weeks to complete...including time that I just stared at it and did nothing...*LOL* But you know how it is... suddenly you find inspiration, push through and just finally get it done. Now I just need to varnish and hang it up! :)
Absolutely stunning ... your eye is perfect

ReplyDeleteI can't get over how realistic your eye art always looks. And at 12"x16" it's larger than life, which makes it even more impressive.
